First morning visit to SYD F lounge for me (has always been arvo or night previously).

Signature Breakfast



All day menu is more my jam and whilst it starts at 11am I've opted to take the spa appointment offered instead, given slow service this morning and needing to head to gate about 11:40am.

Unfortunately next F lounge visit will also be at Breakfast.

I must have left as you arrived; I’m on QF81 to SIN, this morning.

Service was friendly in our section, but multiple misses and issues with the plates delivered. I still get annoyed when staff take orders by memory - do people really think it’s impressive not to need a notepad? IME it rarely works out 100% when it’s more than one person, or with special requests.

That said - corn fritters were very nice, as always!

Cheers,
Matt.

When we were in the MEL lounge on Monday they had little slips with all the menu items printed on them, so they could tick/number which items were ordered.

I was there ~8:55 to 11:50, my food order was correct but the cappuccino I ordered arrived as a latte

Past visits service has been excellent, maybe it's all newbies?

That said today's massage in the spa was best one I've had at SYD yet.

Sounds like I just missed you. DejaBrew+1 and I were leaving for the gate at about 9:10am

My bad . I thought we were in autumn we still got February to go …

Asparagus & Avocado at Melbourne ... I had it as a light lunch and it was perfect for that.

A bit of a kick and I enjoyed it.

I had the beef brisket. It came in a 120cc Cube. Spicy eggplant sauce was horribly sweet. Rest was fine.

Also had some cheese - that was divine ...

Quick side step - has anyone printed anything in the MEL F lounge recently? I can’t recall seeing a printer in the office I used last time…

I think there’s still one near those two desks in front of the old-timey flight information board near the spa.

Yes I have printed in both MEL and SYD F lounges in the last 12 months. SYD F even has two printers!

A mate and I will be in the MEL Flounge in 2 weeks - flying whY on QF. Any tips or suggestions? We'll be aiming to spend about 4hrs there - will ask for a spa treatment when we arrive in the hope we can get one before departure.

Come with an appetite. The food in the lounge will be much better than you’ll get onboard.

Possibly consider a shower at some stage during the visit.

It can be nice to look at the views.

The old school departures board is nice to have a look at too.

You can also spread out your meals - eat once in the dining area, rest your bellies and eat again perhaps in the wider lounge area.

What time? Try both the breakfast and all day menu?
